Correct answer: C. Yield — if you are in doubt, let the other driver go first

Give it away. The Handbook's list of ten ways to make Ontario's roads the safest in North America includes the instruction in plain terms: "if you're in doubt, let the other driver go first — yield the right-of-way." It is worth taking literally, because right-of-way is a rule about who must yield rather than a permission you can insist on: two drivers each convinced they have it is precisely the situation that produces a collision. Yielding when you are unsure costs a few seconds and removes the ambiguity for both of you. The same list pairs it with the other habits that come from the same instinct — not cutting people off, not making sudden lane changes, and not running yellow lights.
